On eliminating the barking effect from some vintage dynamic AKG microphone

It is likely that the mid barking effect comes from the proximity effect increasing mid or mid bass.


AKG D1000E
Sounded great with its (R,C-L) filter
Even brighter when cascading also the Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) filter.
It sounded too bright with a Pleiades (24Ω,11mH)
It sounded more wide bandwidth than perhaps needed with its low cut off and a Pleiades (130Ω,40mH)


D190
Sounded great with a Pleiades (24Ω,11mH) filter.
A flat mic. Ie smooth, flat frequency response ie sensitivity.
Very nice sound with Pleiades (130Ω,40mH)


D130 omnidirectional sounds nice too with Pleiades (130Ω,40mH).


A great advantage of these AKG mics is that the sintered bronze mesh cover is washable (at your risk). There is absolutely no odor.
